TNA's July Ratings Comparisons!

Impact has a lot of comparison issues, but last year the show averaged a 1.06 rating and 1.36 million viewers. However, two of the four shows were during the period Spike was off DirecTV. If you adjust the viewership numbers to increase based on if the DirecTV viewership was identical in average to the non DirecTV viewership, the adjusted viewership would have been about 1.51 million viewers. 

This year’s July shows averaged a 1.00 rating and 1.26 million viewers. However, there was an episode of Impact on July 4th, which didn’t do nearly as badly as it probably should have been expected to do, but still pulled down the average. Throwing that show out and you have a 1.07 ratings average and 1.33 million viewers. So the ratings were actually up 1.0% in a fair month-to-month comparisons, but viewership would be down 11.9%, but the show in 2013 was also in a better time slot than 2012.
